Bay News 9

[Craigmri]

Was on the N Run today and while on Spring Lake heading towards the Hess on 50 there was a Bay news 9 reporter and cameraman shooting us while we rode by. I checked the Bay News 9 website to see if i could find anything to no avail. Wondering if they were reporting related to the shooting at a local business recently or if this was a motorcycle related piece.

Anybody have any insight?

a friend said they saw a piece on motorcycling in Hernando County...i havent seen it, but she said it wasnt negative, just talking about the more rural roads that motorcyclists go to ride with less traffic and danger...if thats true...it would be a fuggin first.....

My father was the one who did the interview with them at the Hess station. Law enforcement wanted them to do a piece on drivers not paying attention us motorcyclists.

We ended up ridin past all you guys that were on the N Run as we were leavin the Hess.

Not yet, talked to the reporter last night and they will be putting it up there. We didn't have BN9 out here so all we could get was the live audio.

Soon as I have it I'll share it

I saw it on TV last night on BN9.

They were saying that motorcycle accidents were up 40% during the last 5 years in Hernando county and telling
car drivers to double check for motorcycles when passing or changing lanes.

Be carefull (if confronted) what you say guys/gals.....I've heard stories about how their looking out for our interest and then when it's aired it's nothing like they said it was going to be.

Turning video stories around is common place. What story a road crew tapes goes back to the air conditioned edit room is often turned around to fit whatever point or points they want to make to fit their NEWS version of the story. Always think before you speak. It's the off the cuff responses that always seem to ge the most attention and often turn a story line around.

I've seen some decent motorcycle charity events and runs turned into something resembling episodes of the wild bunch.
